[Repost] Reliable alternatives to AWS Deep Glacier for ~5TB? (lemmy.world)

Hi everyone,

As always, every time I look at the AWS Glacier egress fee calculator I get fairly irked at how much they charge. Was wondering if anyone knew of any alternatives for cold storage in the cloud without such egregious charges. I will likely not access it ever because I have another offset backup, but just in case I do, I wouldn't want to fork over thousands, really.

I don't know how reliable Scaleway's service is, and Cloudflare's R2 doesn't have a Archive offering. I would be interested in the Azure if anyone can convince me that I won't go bankrupt trying to retrieve my data from them. I don't want to go with Google with the recent stuff they have been doing with data on their servers.

Thanks!

Do they offer multi-region storage boxes? Hetzner is definitely a name I can trust (at the moment), I'm interested

Storage box is self-serviced storage on a single server, as far as I'm aware. If you need replication, you need to rent storage at a second location and do it yourself.

I see. Thanks

Two locations in Germany and maybe one in Finland iirc. Check their website to be sure. None outside Europe for now.

I see that. It seems I'd have to set up replication myself, but that seems doable. Thanks

You could ask on lowendspirit.com for other cheap storage. Yeah Storage Box is mostly raw storage with RAID-6 but no automatic replication or backup. The somewhat.more expensive Storage Cloud product is backed up nightly.

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look

Don't use them as the only storage maybe. There's stories about Hetzner flagging accounts for false positives and they basically offer zero recourse. They close everything related to the account and cut all communication.
